This poster marks the beginnings of my exploration into the combination of gaze and micro-gestures for subtle and expressive interaction.
This work explores two potential combinations of gaze and micro-gestures for expressive controller-less input and discusses the strengths and drawbacks of each.
More to come in this topic.
Abstract
Gaze and hand-based micro-gestures have been widely studied individually, each offering unique advantages as input modalities, but their combination remains under-explored. In this work, we integrate gaze with thumb-to-finger micro-gestures, discussing their complementary strengths to enable expressive and efficient interactions. We examine two strategies for combining gaze and micro-gestures, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and present examples such as mouse emulation and application shortcuts. Finally, we outline the potential and challenges of gaze and micro-gestures to enhance interaction across diverse contexts, and discuss future directions. This work begins the exploration of gaze and micro-gestures for novel input techniques.
